(Clifton, VA) I highly recommend Houston Patient Advocacy and Dr. Rajan. While my mother lives in Houston, Texas, I do not. This became problematic when my mother became ill, bouncing from hospital to nursing home and from doctor to doctor. We also had difficulties navigating the maze of medical bills, Medicare, and other insurances. Dr. Rajan has greatly helped my mom and my family by coordinating the care provided by her multiple physicians. We needed a doctor in the family to corral the various diagnostic tests and results into a diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment plan, and Dr. Rajan fills that void. Dr. Rajan has been able to expedite access to medical specialists, been an advocate for her care, and has been present at physician appointments on our behalf. He has provided timely observations and information about what’s going on with my mother and has made well-received suggestions to the medical team on essential matters such as appetite, nutrition, and pain management. In addition, Dr. Rajan has a local affiliate network to tap into to provide additional assistance, such as home care support and aid in navigating medical billing and insurance problems. Overall, Dr. Rajan’s involvement has led to better care for my mother and has reduced anxiety for her geographically distant family.

(Houston) A friend of mine told me about Houston Patient Advocacy and Dr. Rajan a few months back as I was seeing 4 different specialists and taking 10 Rx’s daily. I had become frustrated with spending 15 minutes with these doctors on my frequent visits and concerned that some of my prescriptions might be interacting unfavorably with each other. After a very in depth initial meeting I left feeling like I finally had a doctor on my side. The idea of having one doctor who worked for ME and would comprehensively study all of my records from these doctors and put the pieces of the puzzle together just made sense. One example of how Dr. Rajan was instrumental in my being properly diagnosed was when I tried to get an appointment with a very well-known and respected neurologist that I really wanted to work with. (My first neurologist was stumped and just stopped communicating with me.) When I called for the appointment I was told he couldn’t see me for 3 months. Dr. Rajan called and I had an appointment in 4 days! He went with me to the appointment, took notes, and was able to explain everything to me in layman’s terms. Another example was at our second appointment to discuss the results of many tests including an LP (spinal tap). When the doctor came in none of the results were in his computer. I was near tears as these tests results were going to determine or dispel my diagnosis of MS (multiple sclerosis). Dr. Rajan said he would make some phone calls and get the results to my neurologist ASAP. The neurologist agreed to let us wait in the room, and he would come back in 20 minutes. To everyone’s surprise, Dr. Rajan delivered on his promise and the neurologist was able to see my results and make his diagnosis 20 minutes later. I have MS. At this time, Dr. Rajan has done what he can to get me through the mire of red tape and get answers quickly – something that would have taken me months longer to achieve. I will always be grateful for his help and highly recommend him to anyone who may need his services.

(Friendswood, TX) In February of 2013, I collapsed from an intractable migraine and could no longer work at my job until I could find a doctor that could help me. I filed a short-term disability claim with my insurance provider, Cigna, and I was denied after a month into my convalescence. It took several months to get in to see a renowned headache specialist at The University of Texas Medical Center in Houston after seeing many doctors for a solution to my painful, daily migraine. After my treatment and improvement, I filed an appeal with Cigna for disability payment for the six months that I was unable to work. My insurance appeal was denied a second time because it was difficult to prove my functional loss and inability to work due to the nature of my illness. After returning to my job in August 2013, I began to contact several attorneys for assistance. The few attorneys that would have taken my case on contingency would have taken almost half of any compensation I received. Fortunately, at this point I found and contacted Houston Patient Advocacy. Dr. Vik Rajan, M.D. contacted me immediately to discuss my case. He was always positive and gave me hope that we could have a favorable outcome to my dilemma. Dr. Rajan effectively communicated with all my doctors and retrieved important documents and information to support a new appeal. He submitted a third appeal on my behalf which was written with his medical expertise and insight into the complicated insurance processes. I am happy and relieved to tell you that thanks to Dr. Rajan, my appeal denial was reversed and I was immediately awarded a check of nearly $18000 for my six months of disability pay. I am forever grateful to Dr. Rajan and Houston Patient Advocacy.
